A Denver woman was forced to take matters into her own hands when she left work Monday afternoon to discover her bright red Mazda SUV missing.
Holly Kaufman was enraged when she realized her car had been stolen and called the police, but she also began tracking her vehicle through the Madza app after the cops told her they were too busy at the time to send someone to investigate.
The mother attempted to thwart the thief by remotely setting off the car alarm and turning off the engine using the mobile app.
The app has another nifty feature: a GPS tracker that pinpoints the exact location of the car. She quickly ran to where he said his car had been moved.
“It was in a Safeway parking lot, so we started going there,” Kaufman said.

She got someone she knew to take her there and at the same time she was on the phone with a 911 operator who discouraged her from going alone.

Kaufman added that the operator told him they did not have anyone available to help immediately.
The mother told Fox KDVR that she had experience with vehicle theft and didn’t want to risk losing it forever or having it damaged beyond recognition.
“In the past, I’ve had a vehicle stolen and it was completely ripped out, everything was destroyed, they tried to live in it and they put drugs in it,” Kaufman said.
“I’m a working mom and it’s hard to make car payments these days,” she added. “This is a car I take my 4-year-old son in, so I’m like, ‘This doesn’t happen in my car.'”
Kaufman found his car in relatively good condition after just 15 minutes, but it had some surprises inside.
«There was beer on the passenger seat and a pipe nearby. He also found Target receipts with returns.

“I feel super violated, and at that moment, there was nothing that could change my mind. I was buying my car, I knew they didn’t have time, so I bought it myself,” Kaufman said. .
“I’m not advising people to do what I did, but at some point something has to change.”
Denver police also do not advise people to take matters into their own hands because it could be dangerous to confront the person who stole your vehicle.
Instead, the department suggested residents register their car, if it has a GPS tracker enabled, with the DenverTrack program to help officers locate it faster in case of theft.
